Financing fell through, and this beauty is back on the market. Welcome to 6519 Long Beach Drive, a storybook Chesapeake Bay cottage where time slows down and every sunrise feels like a vacation. Just across the street from the community beach, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers sweeping Bay views without the waterfront price tag.

Step onto the front porch and breathe in the fresh air, or unwind in the screened back porch while you listen to waves roll in. Inside, hardwood floors, a cozy brick fireplace, and touches give the home that perfect "old-Bay" cottage feel. The kitchen has classic mid-century charm and opens to the dining and living area, all on one level.

Long Beach is one of Calvert County's hidden gems, offering a laid-back coastal lifestyle with easy access to everything you need. The community beach is right across the street, giving you front-row access to the Chesapeake Bay for swimming, kayaking, or just watching the sunrise. A few minutes away, Flag Harbor Yacht Haven provides full-service marina access for boat owners. When you're ready for dining and entertainment, historic Solomons Island is about fifteen minutes south, known for its waterfront restaurants, local shops, and lively marina scene. Commuters will appreciate how central St. Leonard is, roughly twenty-five minutes to Pax River Naval Air Station, thirty-five minutes to Annapolis, and about an hour to Washington, D.C. or Joint Base Andrews. It's a peaceful spot where you can enjoy small-town charm without giving up convenience.

This Bay-view cottage is also a smart investment opportunity, ready to perform as a turn-key short-term rental or weekend retreat. With its fully furnished setup, charming character, and unbeatable location just steps from the Chesapeake Bay.

Whether you're dreaming of a weekend escape or a full-time coastal lifestyle, this St. Leonard cottage delivers all the perks of Bay living, minus the crowds.
